Kim Kardashian West recently explained what it was like to treat Kanye West when he was first infected with COVID-19 at the beginning of the pandemic.

She told GRAZIA that Kanye West became diagnosed in mid-March when the pandemic began in the U.S. She had to care for him during that time and it was not easy.

Kardashian West said Kanye was diagnosed around the same time as Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson, USA Today reports.

  • “Kanye had it way at the beginning, when nobody really knew what was going on. It was so scary and unknown. I had my four babies and no one else in the house to help.”
  • “I had to go and change his sheets and help him get out of bed when he wasn’t feeling good. It was a challenge because it was so unknown. Changing his sheets with gloves and a face shield was really a scary time.”

Kanye explains COVID-19 experience:

In July, Kanye West told Forbes that he had the novel coronavirus and it was not an easy thing to handle.

  • “Chills, shaking in the bed, taking hot showers, looking at videos telling me what I’m supposed to do to get over it. I remember someone had told me Drake had the coronavirus and my response was Drake can’t be sicker than me!” (Drake tested negative for the coronavirus back in early spring.)

Kanye West said he was praying for a cure, though, even if it’s not a vaccine.

  • “We pray. We pray for the freedom. It’s all about God. We need to stop doing things that make God mad.”
  • He said: “It’s so many of our children that are being vaccinated and paralyzed. … So when they say the way we’re going to fix COVID is with a vaccine, I’m extremely cautious. That’s the mark of the beast. They want to put chips inside of us, they want to do all kinds of things, to make it where we can’t cross the gates of heaven. I’m sorry when I say they, the humans that have the devil inside them. And the sad thing is that, the saddest thing is that we all won’t make it to heaven, that there’ll be some of us that do not make it. Next question.”
